You can create volumes from a pool. By enabling the capacity saving (deduplication and compression), you can reduce the amount of data stored, depending on the characteristics of the data.
- Ensure that a pool is available.
If you want to enable capacity saving for the volumes that you are creating, you cannot use a tiered pool.
- Obtain the following items:
- Pool name
- Capacity
- Number of volumes
- Volume name
-
Specify the required information and create the volumes.
For the name of a volume, specify a name that is a combination of Volume Name and a number beginning with Suffix Start Number (optional).
For example, if you specify "volume" for Volume Name, "7" for Suffix Start Number, and "2" for Number of Digits, the volume name will be "volume07".
